Product Description:
Oh what a difference a year makes. The crew of classic 1972 series Sealab 2020 has been replaced with a gang of misfits unfit for public service. Their mission: to investigate underwater colonization. They are doing a very bad job.Running Time: 145 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 053939686821
Amazon.com:
The second season of Sealab 2021, the Cartoon Network's certifiably bizarre reworking of Hanna-Barbera's earnest 1972 animated series Sealab 2020, surfaces in a two-disc set that includes an unaired episode and supplemental features that place a strong emphasis on 'mental.' For series devotees, season 2 is a must-have, thanks to its lineup of memorable episodes, including 'Stimutacs,' which fans voted as the series' best episode; the behind-the-scenes chaos of 'Swimming in Oblivion'; 'Hail, Squishface,' which tosses jabs at Star Trek's 'Trouble with Tribbles' episode; and the aptly named 'Bizarro,' which pits the Sealab crew against their evil doubles.
As with most Adult Swim programming from Cartoon Network, viewers will either 'get' Sealab 2021, or find its kitchen-sink loopiness indigestible, but one has to admire the producers' ability to spin this recycled footage into the most outlandish plots with such regularity. Said producers (co-creators Adam Reed and Matt Thompson) are present on some freewheeling commentary tracks for all 13 episodes in the set, though viewers hoping for some insight into the show might find the chatter mostly dispensable; however, the inclusion of a rough cut of 'Ronnie,' the series' only unaired episode, more than makes up for the commentaries, as do hilarious interviews with the cast (which includes Erik Estrada and Brett Butler), and a tour of the production company, both of which are dominated by girls in bikinis (who also give a read-through of the script for 'Der Dieb'). The sole sober note on the set is struck by an affectionate tribute to voice-over legend Harry Goz, who provided the voice for the addled Captain Murphy before passing away in 2003. It's rare for a DVD's supplemental extra to match the same tone as the main feature, but the season 2 set manages to stay nearly 100% Bizarro from start to finish. --Paul Gaita

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - perhaps the best season
Season 2 of sealab has some of the best episodes in the series. Particularly Der Dieb, Hail Squishface, Tinfins, Bizarro, Return to Oblivion, Article 4, all amazing. The special features are also excellent. The box art is really fun and creative.
Rating: - Sealab 2
Sealab is an amazing series it incorporates many different genres into the series. It is very funny and it has obscure references that help to fuel many inside jokes. I have watched the entire series several times and it never gets old.

Rating: - Great season for this show
Back with a vengance, Sealab 2021's hilarious 2nd season really shines! The Bizarro characters are in this season. And my favorite episode when Murphy goes searching for a golf shop in his most hated Pod (I think it was Pod 6) and tries to run over somebody just because he's from that pod, and the lovable (but one episode lived) Squishface, a white blob who reproduces by drinking alcohol, farts as a defense mechanicism and can transform into anything. For those who haven't seen that many episodes will enjoy the classic Tinfins (but what makes this episode funny are the Grizzlebees commercials and Kid'n'Play apperances). One thing I would like to point out is that (although Murphy does appear in 3 or 5 more episodes in the 3rd box set) that after this set, Captain Murphy is gone to fight the Great Spice Wars (but in real life, the guy who played Murphy, Harry Goz, died from cancer and the Sealab creators decided it was best to retire his character, like Phil Hartman with Troy McClure and Lional Hutz from the Simpsons). Murphy was probably the best character in the show because of his personality and the Goz did a great job acting as him. This is a great collection. Anyone who likes Adult Swim shows or anything should like this. I recommend this and the 1st season.
Rating:  - Hilarious episodes, bad extras
Season 2 is when the series reached its comedic peak, in my opinion. There are some really great episodes in this collection, such as "Der Dieb", in which Murphy declares "Martian law" in response to the presence of a thief on Sealab; "The Feast of Alvis", where the crew struggles with religious diversity while Murphy prepares for Alvistime, a bastardized version of Christmas that worships a gun-toting outlaw named Alvis; and "Hail, Squishface", where Murphy inadvertantly causes Sealab to be overrun by cute-but-deadly creatures called gloops. This collection is, if anything, a reminder of how much Harry Goz is missed as the voice of Captain Murphy; he was the glue that held the show together, and it just completely fell apart after his death.
The extras are of course terrible, as is typical with bizarre Adult Swim shows in DVD format, because the creators are so weird that they just can't bring themselves to do normal special features and must make everything strange and half-assed. The tribute to Harry Goz is alright, but it consists mainly of brown-nosing from the creators of Sealab, his son Michael Goz, and Bill Lobley (the voice of Sparks). Lobley, in particular, is rather nauseating to listen to because he is such an insufferable suck-up.
However, the bad extras are the only reason that this item lost a star. The episodes are solid gold, and I would recommend this collection to any die-hard fan of this bizarre oceanic series.
